Selection of one best option is pretty difficult in case of MD/MS entrance. If you want the best be ready to subscribe to multiple platforms. I had used Marrow and Prepladder extensively. Apart from them, i also used unacademy for a brief period of time. I can give my honest opinion about every platform which can help you choose one best option but if you are ready to join multiple platforms, i will also mention what’s best for each subject.
So when i was about to complete my final prof, prepladder was coming with the concept of dream team which comprises of all the faculties who authored some or other pg entrance guidebook. I immediately subscribed it and started my preparation with anatomy. I will describe the platform in context with the subjects i did with respective platform.
My best choice:
- Anatomy : Prepladder is crisp and concise. Dr Rajesh Kaushal sir is alumni of AIIMS. Notes of anatomy are very high yield with lot of images. There are around 100 hours of lectures which enable you to solve majority of questions. Marrow is also good, i have done image based sessions and some topics from marrow, i have found it equally good. So you must have time on your side as you have to spend around 100 hours for either of them.
- Physiology : I personally felt that it was not for me. I was good with physiology and had good collection of my own notes and textbooks so i prepared it on my own. I also took help from marrow on and off. I must tell you that physiology from marrow is very good. Dr Krishna kumar sir teaches physiology very well. Best option is to go for Marrow.
- Biochemistry- In prepladder, Dr. Smiley mam is very good with biochemistry. I enjoyed the subject for the first time in my life. Although i also referred to my first year resources for revision before aiims exam. I cannot comment about marrow as i haven’t used marrow biochem. So best option is again depends upon time here. Calculate number of hours of lectures and go for the one you feel is doable.
- Pathology- I used marrow only. I was a fan of Dr. Ila. She explained pathology beautifully with lot of images. For patho, there are lot of options but i would still advice marrow only. I throughly enjoyed it.
- Pharmacology: I don’t think i need to explain it in detail. Dr GRG sir is simply awesome. I won’t be able to comment on marrow pharma as i haven’t done it from there.
